Actually, I think if Craig came out and said he would resign when Ted Kennedy, Patrick Kennedy, Barney Frank etc.. resign. That would make the media reinvestigate those stories and compare and contrast. It would make for an interesting debate.

"Craig must resign. His thoughts of unresigning is just another example of how politicians lose touch with real life after being in office for so many years."

Craig must resign just because you said so. I say he shouldn't, mustn't be forced out of office. I hate to tell you that bathroom sexual encounters fit into the definition of "real life." If I were Craig, I'd say, "Screw yourselves! Hypocrites all of you!" I'd let the shit fly, to keep the bathroom metaphor going! Until the day Ted Kennedy resigns, I'm staying put on my toilet seat, er, I mean Senate seat. Go fly a kite, or open my fly! Your choice!

I know you can't just stick to a subject without the "ya but..." answer but the reason the others stay in office is they don't lie to their constiuents. If you ask Barney Frank if he is gay he will readily admit it. If you ask Kennedy if he has an alcohol problem or has a history of womanizing he can't and won't deny it. Gerry Studds came clean and his district re-elected him over and over.

Senator Craig lied through his teeth, when caught and confronted, he continued to lie. No one cares if he is gay or for that matter likes sex with dogs. I don't and most intelligent people just don't care. Intelligent people do care about liars though and this flipflopping of resign, not resign, perhaps resign, i'm innocent, i plead guilty, i didn't do a thing, is just bullshit.

Craig didn't lie about anything. He's just a normal married straight man who happens to enjoy anonymous rest room sex.

Oh, and Michael Weiner (Savage) is not really right-wing; he just plays one on the radio. He's an old Berkeley liberal who realized that Rush Limbaugh was making a buttload of money, and figured he could grab his share. He enjoys seeing how far over the top he can go.
